Annyeonghaseyo hwan-yeong. In English, that is “Hello and welcome!” The reason for me writing in Korean is in honor of Dorian’s bullet-catching injury, which results in him only being able to speak Korean for a portion of the episode. We’ll get into those fun times later. First, let’s establish this week’s case.

A man, Anton Cross, is running through a subway station, trying his best to get on the train. He barely misses the train, but Anton is still trying his best to keep running. Instead, the subway security corners him as he’s desperately trying to escape. As he yells how some people are trying to kill him, a bullet travels through the subway’s skylight, through a man’s futuristic cello, and hits Anton squarely in the chest.

Meanwhile, Dorian is waiting for Kennex’s anger management session to finish. Either the people in attendance aren’t interested in getting better or, as I’m wont to believe, the group leader is terrible at her job. No wonder Kennex, or as Dorian calls him, “Mr. Friendly,” is keeping his feelings close to the vest. He might as well solve his anger and psychological issues himself, especially since the leader seems like she’s trying to make Kennex angry by reminding him that his girlfriend tried to kill him and the raid killed many of his men.

After the session, the two head to the subway station to investigate Anton’s death. Paul and his MX are already on the scene, much to Kennex’s irritation. Three shots seem to have been fired—one through the skylight, the second through the cello and the third into Anton—but there’s only one bullet. Paul’s MX posits the ludicrous theory that perhaps an assassin shot the bullet at just the right time and at the right angle that it would ricochet and eventually land its target. Dorian has a different theory. There’s only residue from the skylight and cello, but none on the floor, meaning that the ricochet theory is impossible. Second, the bullet has circuitry. Paul’s MX is just as irritating as Paul himself; it instantly tries to get Kennex’s attention, saying that Dorian is inferior and an “retired old system believing … rambling illogical theories.” Dorian is glad that Kennex is still giving him his undivided attention, but he’s still hurt by the MX’s words. Kennex’s way of alleviating Dorian’s pain is shooting the MX in the face.

Of course, Maldonado is angry. Paul is also angry—Kennex shot his MX! Paul antagonizes Kennex, asking what would happen if he put a bullet in Kennex. This leads to a tussle that reminds me either of two kids fighting over a teddy bear or two teenage boys fighting over the same crush. “Don’t even look at Dorian,” Kennex says, bringing the imagery home. Kennex goes on to say that the MXs aren’t cops. “They’re bullet catchers,” he says, also mentioning that he sees them as faulty toasters. Ironically, the only MX that caught bullets in this episode is the one Kennex put out of commission; Dorian is the one that catches almost all the bullets in this episode.

Kennex is able to joke himself out of suspension and Maldonado sends him on his way. Meanwhile, Dorian’s research finds out that Anton worked at Trope Software with a woman named Kira. From the amount of text messages between the two, it’s safe to assume that they’re in a relationship.

During the ride over, Kennex endures Dorian’s smug grin. He knows why Dorian is smiling, but still he bites. “You like me,” says Dorian. Kennex, who can’t stand being in contact with emotions other than “grumpy,” denies this, threatening to put Dorian out of commission as well. “It’s okay, John,” says Dorian. “I like you too.” Kennex’s lack of a response speaks volumes. The tone shifts back to seriousness as Rudy patches in, confirming Dorian’s theory. The bullet is a specially designed one that can be controlled.

Once at Trope Software, Dorian and Kennex inform Kira of Anton’s death. She doesn’t know anyone who would want him dead, but it’s clear that Anton was in a jam; a message Anton left her earlier shows him being eerily distracted by someone. Also, all of his problems seemed to come after he met with a headhunter.

During the questioning, Dorian finds himself inundated with real-time personalized ads. It’s the ads that gives Dorian an idea as to what happened to Anton. Anton used the real-time technology to create the guiding system for the bullet. Rudy gives more information: The bullet was a design from the Russian army, confiscated by a group of arms criminals called Revolution Now. Today the bullet is a black-market weapon. Poor Anton was killed by the very people he sold the system to.

What’s hilarious is that the person the headhunter and her associate are selling the bullet to is McNab from Psych! McNab (or “Wilkes” in this episode) is impressed with the bullet’s technology, but wants to see it in action for himself. The headhunter and her associate set their next target, Kira.

Back at the precinct, Dorian, Paul, Kennex and Stahl are putting their heads together to solve the case. As Stahl gets to work trying to find a money trail, Paul says something that Stahl really should have punched him over. Paul insinuates that Stahl’s father knows how to hide money. The fact that she’s “angry,” but not as angry as she should be, is astounding. Meanwhile, Maldonado has her hands full with Reinhardt, one of the people behind the raid. She’s trying to cut a deal with him if he’ll tell her what he and his group wanted to steal from the evidence warehouse. Reinhardt wants freedom, but of course, Maldonado isn’t going to just let him walk. Maldonado ultimately orders Reinhardt back to his cell, irritated that she couldn’t get the information she desperately wanted. But before he leaves, Reinhardt says, “Do you really think that I’m the only one coming for it?” If only this show lasted longer, we’d be able to see all the parties invested in the thing in the warehouse.

Back to the case at hand. Kennex and Dorian meet up with Kira on the street and inform her of Anton’s dealings with the arms dealers. As Kira describes the headhunter, Dorian senses a disturbance in the Force. It’s the bullet! In the nick of time, Dorian pushes Kira out of the way and takes the bullet in the abdomen, leading us to the Korean-language moments referenced above.

Kira now has to go into protection. She, her daughter Amy and her best friend (and Amy’s babysitter) Janet go underground in the police froce’s specialized bunker. However, even though the bullet can’t track anyone underground, Kira is still fearful for her safety. She thinks that she must know something about Anton that puts her in danger, so she offers to go to a scrubber and get her memories of Anton erased.

Part of this is for protection, but she also feels betrayed by Anton. He was like a father to Amy and it’s hard for Kira to reconcile that person she knew with someone who would put her and Amy in danger. Kennex is against scrubbing and wants to save Kira from such measures. Even though he can’t promise that she’ll make it out of this alive, he does promise that he and Dorian will do whatever it takes to stop the criminals.

First, though, Kennex has to get Dorian fixed. As Rudy fixes him, Rudy makes him sing K-pop, something that distresses Dorian to no end. Of course, Kennex is also annoyed at Dorian’s singing, but it seems like he’s more annoyed at Rudy for putting his partner through this kind of torture. Kennex threatens Rudy with the possibility of him putting a bullet into Dorian, and Rudy quickly unplugs Dorian from K-pop radio. Don’t worry: He mouths to a shocked Dorian that he’s just kidding.

At that moment, Stahl gives Kennex a call. She informs him of Anton’s parking violations at a local bank. The account isn’t under his first name, though; it’s under his middle name, Mark. The safe deposit box in the account has a lot of random things: ripped up paper with numbers on it being one the stranger things in Anton’s possession. But there are also tons of videos of Kira and Amy, with a sinister voice saying that they could be killed at any time. Anton wasn’t just selling the system for no reason; he was being extorted.

Dorian then gets notification of Kira’s disappearance. She’s made a break for it and headed to a scrubber in an attempt to ferret out the criminals. She wants to show them that she’s getting rid of the memories, hoping they’ll no longer see her as a threat. Kennex and Dorian manage to make it to the scrubber and talk Kira out of scrubbing, but they can’t escape in time; the two criminals show up and a shootout ensues.

Dorian has to do some more bullet catching as he draws the other criminal’s fire so Kennex can have a clear shot at him. After that criminal is taken out, Dorian shoots the leader, injuring her. “You have certainly taken your fair share today,” says Kennex to Dorian after backup arrives. “I’ll send you the bill,” Dorian jokes, further cementing their reliance on each other.

Back at the precinct, Kennex shows Kira the extortion video, restoring Kira’s faith in Anton. Kennex also shows her the ripped-up paper. Turns out the paper was Anton’s telephone number; Kira had torn it when he first gave her his number (written with an antiquated pen, no less). Anton decided to keep it as a memento of their first meeting. Kira gives Kennex the pen, thanking him for giving her back her trust in Anton (and from saving her from erasing her memories). Kennex gets an idea and writes Stahl something on paper (the only paper in the precinct, probably) and the pen. What’s the message? Kennex’s phone number? Some dirty sex joke? The answer to how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? The world may never know.
